3-1 Switzerland but very close. Empty netter seals it

 

[Jon Riley]

Is Geisser beaten up? Looking at the tournament he has been playing so far I would have put him in.

The game is going to be close but the Swiss is going to pull it out by a score of 3-2 over Germany.

 

[Speyer]

Is Geisser beaten up? Looking at the tournament he has been playing so far I would have put him in.

Both he and Heldner should be in purely based on their play during the group stage. Alatalo, Untersander and to a lesser degree Siegenthaler have been clearly worse than them until now.

What an interesting match-up!

I'd put Switzerland as the favorites, but it could still be a very close game.

 

[Daeni10]

There is nothing not to love about Moritz Seider. Could watch him all day long

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Not even 5 minutes in and I can already sense Seider crushing someone..

 

[Speyer]

Fairly even game so far. Might turn into a nail biter.

 

[Jon Riley]

How is that not a penalty? What am I missing?

How is that not a penalty? What am I missing?

Maybe it went over when it already reached the benches. Couldn't really see it from the TV angle.

 

[keup257]

Classic Germany. Good pressure but no productivity. Then the other team scores efficient.

 

[amikaro]

germany plays too passive with the forechecking. possession is good but no real pressure.

switzerland has more talent in their roster. if they get space and time, they ll score. not every shot can be blocked.

 

[keup257]

Hard call but stupid penalty nonetheless

 

[keup257]

Tripping in the offensive zone while on PK. Wow.

 

[amikaro]

ufff. two unecessary penalties but good calls.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

5on3, that's going to be tough..

 

[Zamboni Parade]

Way to take stupid penalties jeez

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Solid PK'ing..

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

True. Still refing has been kinda strange for us the entire tournament. Bourding decisions against Canada while in other games I have seen way worse. I think two offside goals and the more then questionable penalty shot against Kazakhstan and here it goes again not calling penalties for delaying the game. The 50:50 decisions really not going our way in this one.

Edit: 2 times no penalties given for Switzerland for delaying the game

 

[Eisen]

Delay of game? Blind ref?

 

[Jon Riley]

Corvi has to start trying to shoot himself sometimes

 

[Eisen]

Piss poor defensive effort. Still, they should have been on the PK.

 

[Jon Riley]

Germany is playing a solid match, but two defensive mistakes, two goals.
Never seen Switzerland being this cynical before

 

[Daeni10]

Well thats probably it. Dont see us coming back in a tight game like that.

That delay of game needs to be seen by 4 refs though, it was not a close call
